Summary at a Glance

Mikel Merino was Arsenal’s hero coming off the bench to play as an emergency striker and scoring twice in the final 10 minutes.

Arsenal, who are without four first-team forwards right now due to injury, had struggled to create before that - although Ethan Nwaneri did hit the woodwork twice.

The Gunners, however, got the win they needed as Merino struck twice in the final 10 minutes.

Arsenal closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points by beating Leicester.

Created a few chances with some nice dinked pass over the top, but not as influential as Arsenal need him to be right now.
